VALUE OF CIVILTY.

Civilty oils the wheels of our do
nestle machinery, and American
women might mend their manners,
as well particularly as to optional
ciyilities Optional ciyility does not
in any way include familiarity. Per-
haps it is the best of all safeguards
against it. Well bred women never
say anything to hurt a persons feel
ings TO tell one of the disagreeable
things said behind ones back is neith
err good taste nor optional civility.
1t is rarely caused by excess Of
friendship. 1t is more apt to be an
expression Of individual spite 1t is
doubtful taste to warn people Of their
faults, to comment upon their fail
ures, to carry them disagreeable it'd
ings under the name of friendship.
This IS very often optional civility.
That mysterious thing within US
which we call pride" which is at
once the best and the poorest thing,
as we make it the painted, wooden,
three legged stool Of assumption, or
arrogance or impoliteness, or the
noble theme Of self respect and dig
nifty, it is but another form oftemper.
1t is part OF our moral climate, and
may make US noble and agreeable or
absurd and detestable, as we all are
proud.

100000 SUPERFLOUS WOMEN IN
ENGLAND.
National Review.

The usual retort, when women
complain Of the want of remunera-
tive employment is that they should
not work, but find men to support
them. As there are 100000 more
women than men in England, it is
obviously impossible that every wo
man should have a husband. This
state Of things IS as bad in Germany
also. The preponderance of the wo-
men over the men is greatest in the
professional and upper middle class
es. Among the richer aristocraey
OF England, and the absolutely work
ing people, the sexes are still equal
n number, and women can still mar
ry. But the sons Of clergymen, off,
GERS, civil servants, lawyers, doctors,
and some Of the country gentry, find
the struggle Of existence TOO great in
this kingdom they emigrate or leave
the country by joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all
remain at home, unable to find hus-
bands, and uneducated for work,
even for domestic work. These SUI
perilous women most undoubtedly,
as body, perform the first duty of
her sex-that Of being charming
they are often handsome, are gener-
ally well hammered and well dressed.
They are "charmers," but there is no
one to charm. They know very well
that their chances Of marriage are
almost nil therefore should a soli-
tary sutton with even a modest COM
potency appear, they feel driven to
accept the first man who asks them.
whether they care for him or not. and
most generally they do not. Their
parents wish to get rid of them, 50
they marry without love. All evil
arises out of this, more CHASTITY than
can be described. The marriage of
convenience is recognized social
institution abroad. In England in
this nineteenth century, the women
Of the upper middle classes adopt it
without acknowledging it. However
We may affect to deny it, there is
vast amount Of married unbappiness
in all classes The fault is some
times ascribed to the present degen-
eracy Of women and sometimes to the
deterioration of men. The fault
really lies in our social system, which
gives a women neither work nor
money, and obliges her to sell her
self before she has lost her only sale
able commodities-youth and beauty.
As there exists four "superfous wo-
men" to one man, the female has no
choice, while the lordly male has the
greater number from which to pick
and choose

Nebraska with me, has a claim join
ing mine, consequently he and have
built our house across the line. He
lives in the part Of the house which
is on his claim, and live in the 9th
er part likewise. So you see We are
holding down two claims, We have
considerable fun, some times. Oc-
casionally, We get too much salt in
the bread, or drop the pancake in
the dirt. But all goes on well.
A great deal of interest is now be-
ing manifested on the part of the
people here in regard to two new
town sites, which have been recent
ly laid out. The two towns are lust
two miles from each other, and both
building rapidly. Each one thinks
they will get the county seat, when
the subdivision of counties are made
in this State. You see the counties
are very large. This county (Elbert)
is l65 miles long, Denver being the
county seat. The counties will. like
~, be divided at the meeting OF the
next Legislature. One of these new
towns is three miles, the other four
and q half miles from my claim.
There Is very strong animosity be-
tween the two towns. One compa
ny is Kansas company, and the
other Denver company. There is
a good prospect of getting a railroad
soon, right through both of the
towns. So you see this country is
country Of ascension. 1t is very true
to one, who has been accustomed to
the diversified scenery of the South,
or East, this country would look
very barren. Nothing but immensely
OF open space. No trees to break
the monotony, only as the mirage is
displaying its grandeur and power,
then one can see beautiful groves.
lakes of water, prairie fires, cities,
&c; but they soon vanish, and we
can but say, sob, if they were only
real. But our country will soon
have the real groves, towns, cities,
churches, school houses and railroads.

CAUGHT BY A LUMP OF SUGAR.

A gentleman who returned recent
~ from Aspinwall tells the following
curious story of the manner in which
the natives Of the interior of the 18TH
mus Of Panama capture monkeys:
almost all the pet monkeys in
this country" said he, come from
Gorgona, a small village half way on
the line Of the Panama Railroad. The
inhbitants are mostly native negroes,
for no white man could live in the
village a month unless he drank
whisky and took quiniue constantly.
The surrounding country is swampy
and covered with dense mass Of
luXuriant vegetation At nightfall a
thick miasma arises from the ground
and hangs over the forests like a
cloud. This place is the monkeys
paradise. They travel through the
forest in troops, going wherever the
king monkey leads. When the ma
lives have been apprised of the pres
ence of a troop they go out warily to
capture them. Their plan is sim
pie one. A hole is cut in the shell
Of cocoanut just large enough to
admit a monkey S Enclosed paw. The
cocoanut is scooped out and a lump
Of sugar placed in the hollow. A
string is then attached to this novel
trap and the negroes conceal them
selves until the monkeys pass by.
Curiosity is one OF the chief charac-
taristics OF these little creatures, and
when they espy the cocoanut lying
upon the ground they come down
from the trees and proceed to in
spect it carefully. The lump Of su-
gar clasped in his hand, he finds il
impossible to withdraw it, nor will
his greedy nature allow him to aban-
don his prize The negroes have no
difficulty in drawing him nearer and
nearer to their ambush. the whole
troop scamperiug madly about him,
chattering and geSticulating as only
monkeys can. When they have ar
rived within easy reach, large net
is thrown out and they are made
prisoners. Twenty or thirty are Of
ten captured at one haul. The ma
lives sell them to the employees of the
Panama Railroad who in turn dis.

In 1928, when the Boston Gaslight
company organized, they charged IS
per 1000 feet for gas. In 1865 it was
reduced to 1925. In 1871 it was re-
duced to 50, in 1879 to 50, in 1881 to
$50, and the other day it was again
reduced to S140 to enable the com
pany to hold its own with the cleo
trio light.

1t is discovered that extract Of
whale is quite as good as beef extract
and much more economical. A whale
weighing 200 tons yields 000pounds
of extract and one pound of extract
makes 100 pints of soup. Thus one
whale will furnish 100000 people
with dinners, and 100 whales will
give all the people in the United
States old enough to eat soup one
meal apiece.
